Morillo Headed to Japan

by Patrick Newman (Nov 15, 2009)

According to a baseball source, righty Juan Morillo has signed with a Japanese team. I don't have confirmation on which one, but the Hanshin Tigers are known have had him near the top of their shopping list.
After the rumors initially broke, Minnesota added Morillo to their
40-man roster, seemingly keeping him away from NPB, but there was some
speculation in the Japanese press that the Twins were trying to drive
up their transfer fee.
